Well...mostly. Neurologist referred me to a headache specialist at Loma Linda and gave me the Rx for O2...flow rate of 15. GRRRR!! Tried telling him and showing him the info but apparently he knows best. Angry

Now to wait on the referal to be approved from TriCare and then off to get the o2 first thing tommorow morning!!! (Closed already today or I'd have been there first thing!!)

URAH!!!

When you go for your oxygen, order the larger M-size home oxygen therapy cylinders for use at home. The best size and number for you will be 3 to 4 of the aluminum M-size or slightly smaller aluminum M60s if they have them... If they don't order at least 3 of the cast iron M-size oxygen cylinders. While you're at it, pick up at least two of smaller the E-size oxygen cylinders for local travel. The home oxygen supplier will make sure you get the two different types of regulators (CGA-540 for the larger cylinders and CGA-870 for the E-size).

If you've not already done so, order one of the $27.50 O2PTIMASK™ kits from the CH.com store at the left. DJ and Steph should have plenty in stock. I'll send you the ordering specifications for one of the 0-60 liter regulators that can toot out the Marine Corps Hymn at full throttle... They're great at knocking down pesky CH in short order.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

Yes! Good docs are hard to find.

My experience with the rebreather masks is great. Order one now! The bag does the job of changing the constant low flow into storage for each of your high flow inhales. The tank flow only needs to be high enough so the bag never completely deflates.

I hope that you find the technique that works well for you.
